Victoria Gray spent 34 years battling the debilitating pain of sickle cell disease. Then she volunteered to be the world's first "prototype" for a CRISPR therapy, based on technology invented at UC ...

For the first time, researchers at the University of British Columbia have demonstrated how to reliably produce an important type of human immune cell-known as helper T cells-from stem cells in a ...

Cells experience many different types of stress, such as starvation or stress caused by too much salt or too high a temperature. Insulin signals respond to such stress signals by sending the protein ...

At first glance, it looks like the start of a human pregnancy: A ball-shaped embryo presses into the lining of the uterus ...

Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.

Innovative research into the gene-editing tool targets influenza’s ability to replicate—stopping it in its tracks.

A new CRISPR breakthrough shows scientists can turn genes back on without cutting DNA, by removing chemical tags that act ...

Bacteria-scale robots that can run for months without human control are no longer a lab fantasy. Researchers have now built ...

Researchers reveal structure of ancient viral protein appearing in breast cancer, lupus, and ALS, opening new paths for ...

Computers found what human experts missed: a divide between aging biology research and patient care that decades of funding ...

A biologically grounded computational model built to mimic real neural circuits, not trained on animal data, learned a visual categorization task just as actual lab animals do, matching their accuracy ...
